WAl .L STRUCTURE.

Application led April 12,1905. Serial No. 255,217, v I I Specification of` Letters Patent.

- Patented June 26,1906.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, LIBERTY MILLET, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hagerman, in the county of Lincoln and State of Idaho, have invented a new and useful Wall Structure, of which the following is a spelcication.

The present invention relates to impro'rl` structures. v

The object is` to provide a novel structure of this character that can be readily and cheaply built, is strong and durable, being efiiciently reinforced, so that it is not liable,

to break or crack, and, furthermore, is capable of use in a variety `of ways and may be ornamented as desired.

A simple form of the structure is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Y Figure 1 is a view in eleva-tionA of the .framework and showing a corner of the wall plete. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view ough the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of a ortion of the completed wall. Fig. 4 is a etail perspective view of a portion of the reinforcing-webbing; an'd Fig.

5 is a vertical sectional viewl through a slightly-modified formof structure, showing a ouble'wall or one provided with an, airspace.

Similar reference-numerals designatecor-- responding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

In the embodiment illustrated a suitable foundation 6 may be employed, on which is placed a supporting-frame comprising angularly-disposed rods, bars, pipes, o r the like, (designated 7 About the opposite supporting-bars are assed upright andhorizontal wires 8 andpQ, which are thus crossed and form spaced reinforcing-webs having open meshes. These webs are connected by tie-wires l0, bridging the space between the points of intersection.

webs and having their terminal portions 11 wrapped about the crossed wires at their A wall-body 12,v ofcement or cementitious nature, fills the space between the webs surrounding the ties 1G, filling theV meshes of the reinforcing-Webs and covering-the outer faces of said Webs` thus forming a solid body strengthened and reinforced by spaced metal webs and ties.

l This body may also be made to cover and .include the supportin-lframe or the latter may be removed, in w "ch case the pro1ectframe.

studding 13, as shown in Fig. -5, maybe employed, and the above wall structure illusvtrated and described in the first four iigurcs applied to the opposite sides of said studding, as shown, said wall structure being ments in cementitlous or composite wall similar in all respects, as will be evident. It will thus be seen that a novel vstructure is and the strength of the metal reinforcements,

nous to both faces of the wall and also extending across .the' same. The structure, moreover, is comparatively inexpensive to ,with or without the use of a mold. It is also for exterior building-walls, but for partitions, ceilings, roofs, and the like.

From the foregoing it is thought that the be apparent to those skilled in the art without further description, and it will be underproportion', and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing' vantages o the invention.

ters Patent, is-f 1. In a structure ofthe class described, the

eachbf said webs being formed of croseg wires, of ties extending across the space' points, and cementitious material covering the webs. f

2. In a structure ofthe class described, the combination with spaced supporting-webs the webs and secured to thewires thereoffat the meshes, and covering the outer faces of said webs.

3. In a structure of combination with spaced meshed supporting webs formed of crossed Wires, oftie-wires bridging the space4 between thc webs and ing wires are secured to their usual. wallprovided having the durability of cement construction, operation, and many advan tages of the hereln-described inventlon willI stoodl that various changes in the size, shapey.

fromv the s irit or sacrificing any ofthe arl-- combination vwith spaced supporting-Webs,-

tween and directly connecting f the webs, said ties each having their ends secured to the`wires of both webs at their crossing-'f formed of crossed wires, ofties connecting their crossing-points, and a cementitious wall-body filling the space between the Weba` the class described, the I In case a ldouble wall is desired the usual said reinforcements being disposed contigmanufacture and 'can be readily built either I capable of use in a variety of ways, not only i Having thus described my invention, what l l I claim as new, vand'desire to secure by Let-1 ITO having .their 'terminals wrapped about lthe wires of said Webs at' their points of crossing, and cementitions material covering the Webs.

4. In a structure of the-class described, the combination with a su porting-frame, of crossed Wires extending agout the frame and secured thereto, forming spaced nieshed webs, and a cernentitious Wall-body covering vthe Webs.

.5. In a structure of the class described., the combination with a supporting-trarne cornprising a11gularlyflisposed bars or rods, of crossed Wires extending about theopposite bars or rods'orming/spaced open-meshed Webs, tie-wiresbridging the space between the webs and ha ving then` terminals Wrapped about the Wiresat their points of crossing,

andal solid cernentitious wall-body filling the space between the Webs and covering the outeraces of said Webs.

6. In-astructure ofthe class described, the'` combination with a supporting-frame including spaced bars or rods, of Wires extending LIBERTY MLLET.
